tRPC vs GraphQL: which should you choose?
tRPC eliminates the need for a schema by sharing TypeScript types end-to-end — perfect for monorepos and Next.js apps. GraphQL is the standard for public APIs and mobile backends requiring flexible queries. Real evaluation data shows where developer momentum sits.
A higher intent score means more developers are actively testing, forking, and contributing to that project right now. It’s the closest proxy we have to “which is gaining traction” without access to private usage data.
How the comparison works
This tool surfaces real developer evaluation activity from the last 30 days — PRs opened, issues filed, forks, and code pushes from non-team contributors. We run the same GitHub Archive query for both repos simultaneously (results cached 24h per repo), weight PRs (50%), issues (30%), and forks (20%) over stars, filter bots, and produce a 0–100 intent score. See the winner, score gap, and which developers are evaluating.
